How to Install SDL2?

So, I'm really interested in C++, but, the thing is, C++ itself doesn't have built-in tool/utility/library for 2D Graphics, which is kinda disappointing compared to Java, which has its own Library for 2D graphics such as Java Swing.

But, C++ has a library called SDL2, Simple DirectMedia Layer, but, the library itself doesn't available in Termux Packages, so, how do i install it?
